Nominees for the fifth annual listener-based iHeart Music Awards were announced, with Luis Fonsi, DJ Khaled, Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Ed Sheeran topping all other artists with five nominations each, Billboard magazine reported.

To add to the lead-up, iHeart Radio will present seven of the awards in seven days leading up to the awards show, which will take place March 11 at the Forum in Los Angeles, Billboard said. Fans also voted on several different categories, that included such categories as the musician's cutest pet.

"We have a guiding principle at iHeartRadio that fans rule," John Sykes, president of iHeartMedia Entertainment Enterprises told Variety. "In our fifth year we are still holding true to our original vision of staging an awards show that truly reflects the music fans loved listening to on iHeartRadio all year long."

Tom Poleman, chief programming officer for iHeartMedia, said the categories for the awards were expanded to "accurately reflects the tastes of the millions of listeners on our broadcast radio stations and on the iHeartRadio app."
